Maybe the same way ive done mine and just make templates and weld them in place. all tho i cut the inner wing out to make it again so you wouldnt do that. just the metal plates thats needed if that makes any sense

Ah right see what you mean now, could'nt i just fully seam weld it then fibreglass and fill it after?

[BIGS]

Yes but fibreglass can crack. you dont have to cut it out like i have but can do something simlar. if you put metal plates there that wont crack.

I'll have a play around, cheers.

Fill what you can with weld/flap back etc. use as little fibreglass and filler as possible. I have done this on another car and used plastic padding flexible filler where needed. IIRC Benn used black fibreglass.
